Why New Zealand grown avocados are better for you
The results of the research, conducted by the Phytochemical and Health team at Plant and Food Research, show New Zealand-grown avocados have double the amount of vitamin B6 and 20 percent more folate than those grown in other countries.
New Zealand avocados have a folate measurement of 81.6 micrograms per 75g serving, providing 41 per cent of the recommended daily intake, the research found.
They also have a vitamin B6 measurement of 0.47mg per 75g serving, providing 30 per cent of the recommended daily intake.
Folate contributes to normal growth and development in children, and to good tissue growth in pregnancy. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal immune system function and helps reduce fatigue.
Why Cold Pressed
Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Avocado Oil is the highest grade of Avocado Oil available. It’s extracted by carefully pressing the best skinless avocados and low temperatures, so not to damage the nutritional profile or flavour of the oil. Only the highest quality oil from the first press of the avocado can earn the title of being called extra virgin.
Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Avocado oil from the 'Hass' cultivar has a characteristic flavor, is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, and has a high smoke point (≥250 C), making it a good oil for frying compared with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Avocado oil is a heart healthy oil, high in oleic acid, which is an unsaturated fat. It contains vitamin E and also helps the body absorb other fat soluble vitamins. Avocado oil is a good source of monounsaturated fat which has been linked to reducing LDL cholesterol and increasing HDL cholesterol.
